Refurbished Roku models may have been returned for various reasons. Like maybe the person could not figure out how to use them. Or they were bought as a gift and the person already had one. Or maybe the remote did not work and it was repackaged with a new remote control.


Refurbished Does Not Mean Broken


Buying refurbished can be good thing as new products when they are sold aren't all quality checked. Most companies only spot check a small percentage of their products to make sure the function 100% as intended. Checking them all would be far to expensive.

Instead, they leave this up to their customers. And offer customer support and an easy return process when something fails under their warranty period.

When items are sent back to the manufacturer, they can't be sold as new so the company will quality check them, refurb or replace broken parts and then resell them at a substantial discount over the price of a new item.

Many times a refurbished item looks identical to a new one. Sometimes manufacturers will use a white box to distinguish any items are not new. This sets them apart from new items which come in colorful retail packaging.

Items that are returned can often be purchased as refurbished from online stores on eBay or Amazon. And some items even come with the same exact warranty as if they were bought new.

We have purchased several refurbished electronic items over the years from various companies including refurbished Roku players. And this has saved us a significant amount of money vs buying them new. And we have been completely happy with everything we ever bought refurbished so far.
